Laguna takes pride in our products and stands behind them with continuing service and support for our
customers. Your Laguna machine was designed to bring a new dimension of productivity to your shop.

Before using your machine for the first time, learn how to use it. This manual covers a step-by-step process
of assembly and machine operation. If you have any questions, this manual will provide answers.

We do our best to thoroughly document every product that we sell for customer reference. Several files are
compiled to cover all components of a machine.
Several machines may be covered by one manual.
Many machines sold by Laguna include components with independent owners’ manuals.
